As part of BBC4's "Electric Dreams" season, a documentary called "Podfather" was shown last night about Robert Noyce, founder of Intel. I thought that it did a great job of fitting Noyce's life and achievements into a one-hour slot -- I'm glad that I taped it.

If I have time tomorrow I'll put i on my home server. I'm working an 80hr week and it might have to wait until this weekend._________________MacMini 2.0GHz C2D (2009)

For those of us who grew up with the 8080 and 6502 Microprocessors, this BBC show about Robert Noyce was fascinating. I never knew that Noyce was such a close friend and mentor to Steve Jobs. The fact that Jobs recognized greatness in Noyce and sought out his advice in the early days of Apple makes me respect Steve Jobs even more. His visionary ideas are rooted in Silicon Valley's greatest visionary and founder Robert Noyce.

No worries. I don't remember the 8080 but my pops had an 8086 at the house! I'll have to watch this documentry when I get a chance._________________MacMini 2.0GHz C2D (2009)

definitely an interesting documentary. I actually studied all about the development of the modern PC industry at uni, from a business rather than techie perspective. Though amused that on a Mac site we've got so many Intel fans ;)
